Valentino's

If you are in a rush, this is a good spot to grab a quick slice. Quality is ok; sweet red sauce, which seems to be a Gloucester staple. You can get discount tickets to the Cape Ann Cinema across the street.

We were the only one's in the restaurant when we entered. Took forever (20 minutes for a Ceasar slad with grilled chix and a Greek salad). My friends Greek Salad was delivered with no Feta and the olives were green. Waitress never came back. When my girlfriend tracked her down in the next room she replied, "Oh yah, we ran out...he's gone to get some". After we finished our meal we grabbed her as she was going to wait on another party and explained that we didn't think we should pay for a Greek salad when we really got a garden salad. She said, "I'll find out", and disappeared. After 10 minutes I went to the take out window and asked to speak to the manager. My friend was walking behind me when the waitress bumped into her and exclaimed, "Oh yeah, I forgot to get your change". My friend let her know that we hadn't paid yet. The cook assured me he would have the waitress change our bill. We sat back down at our table and waited another 10 minutes. We got up and returned to the take out window. The same cook informed us that the manager was gone somewhere and he should be back in a while. We told him we were not going to wait any longer. He said, "What's the difference?", and opened the register and handed me $3. My girlfriend opened her mouth and I shot her a look that said, "Shut up". I told the cook, "That'll do it", and we left. Esentially, they paid US to eat there. Was it worth? HELL NO. On our way out we told a group going in not to eat there because the service sucked. They said they had read a review somewhere stating the same and turn away.
